Though it may sound strange, one lifestyle change to help with heartburn can begin with one's wardrobe. Don't wear tight clothes, particularly tight-fitting shirts, dresses, or other tops. When tight clothes wrap around the abdomen, they cause increased pressure against the stomach and lower esophageal area. The pressure and constriction can lead acid to move into the chest and throat instead of remaining in the stomach. Tight-fitting pants and belts can also constrict the abdomen when they pinch the waist. Other common types of clothing to avoid are corsets, shapewear, and otherwise constraining clothes meant to flatten the stomach. Loose-fitting shirts and pants are a much better option for dealing with heartburn.
